Artisttyp Turns 41/ Breaking Barriers
I orginally had planned to be in mexico for 23 days but I had to drop it down to 10. Unfortunately some personal issues came up.
This was not just a mongering trip for me. I was here in june trying to organize a photography exposition with my TJ photos. This time I closed the deal with the cultural center. Twenty of my photos and 4 of my tshirt designs will be displayed at a high school as part of a cultural program that the cultural center offers. Afterwards they will be displayed in the IMAC/SECUD building next to el arco. I received a certificate of "reconocimiento" which was a very nice surprise...done.
The big surprise however was that I banged a civie on my birthday! This was already in the making from my previous trips down here. Lets just say she was very close to home.
Mongering:
There really isnt a lot to say. All I did were street girls and I cant remember one touching my dick. These sgs here are the laziest most germophobic hoes I have ever seen. IMHO mexican attitude towards sex is rather bland in general. Women dress sexy but when it comes to the bedroom they are rather lame compared to south america or even central america. Men arent as dominant in mexico(in the bedroom) towards women as in south america IMHO.
I will say though that mon - wed are IMHO the best days for pure mongering in la zona. If you go to the zona around 9pm on these days chances are you will find some very desperate women. Last night was a prime example. I hardly had to negotiate a butt and pussy licking for $20 plus $5 for the room. She was the one that quoted me that super low price. Thursdays are ok but that is when thing start to pick up. Any day is a good day for HK club. You will always see people in there. The other bars are dead. If you arent a drinker then the zona will get very boring for you once you had a few sessions.
* The sessions were more like glorified whack off sessions more than anything else. I also felt rather pressured on time. It is better to go into a sessions with a hard on and a desire to pop rather quickly.
The other bar I liked was rio grande a few doors down from el arco on that main street where the zona starts. It is catty corner to hotel santa cecilla which is across the street from the hotel nelson. I hope this makes sense.
Hotels:
I did have a chance to visit a few hotels when I was here. This is what I found:
Hotel Aqua Rio
Av. constitution no. 1306 entre 9 y 10
tel 664-685-1912
This is located next door to the swap meet about 1 1/2 blocks from hotel ticuan. Rooms run around $30 even on weekends (some hotels charge more on those days). Ive read on another forum that guests are allowed but I did not verify it. I usually dont ask those questions when I first introduce myself to a new hotel.
I really like this place. The rooms are rather small but very clean and very plush for a $30. IMHO these were the nicest $30 rooms in TJ that I have seen.
The area is pretty mellow and you are rather central. Some people might feel a little uncomfortable walking the 1 1/2 blocks from the ticuan.
Las pulgas is right there as well as sonriana supermarket. Credit cards are accepted and there are safety deposit boxes at the front desk.
Hotel Central:
Calle 7 madero y negrete 8381
tel 011 52 664 688 2639 mex 664 685 8653
This hotel is right around the corner from ricardos sandwhich shop and the hotel la villa de zaragoza. A single room will run you a whopping $20.There is a xoxo(7 11) directly across the street. The rooms are rather basic but large with new wooden floors. There is no heat but they do offer a fan in the summer. Noise would not be too much of an issue here. Some rooms have windows and some dont. There is a sign saying no visitors. The advantage to staying here would be location. You would bascially have whatever the hotel zaragoza offers minus access to the hotel. I am not sure about parking.
Someone mentioned this hotel received so so reviews. If anyone can add to it Id like to know.
Hotel San Nicolas :
Av Madero between calle 1 y 2 no.768
tel 011 52 664 688 04 18
This is a family owned hotel on ave madero 2 blocks from el arco. The rooms face inside the building so I dont think noise would be an issue. The rooms run around $30 and are typical TJ dank looking. The owner seemed rather nice and even offered to keep medicine for me in his fridge at the front desk. There is a sign saying no visitors after 7pm.
The dank look grossed me out. It might be an option for other people.
Motel Arragon:
Ave Negrete 1671
tel 685 26 88
This hotel is one block below ave madero....3 blocks from revo. It is in a rather isolated area but there is a xoxo directly across the street. There are a total of 72 rooms some without tvs and some with heat! The manager said guests were allowed with ID. If you stay for a week the room will run $27 if not expect to pay around $30. Rooms are large with fans but pretty basic. If you have a car this might be worth a stay. The famous JUNIORS TACOS is in walking distance.
Food :
Before coming down I wrote down a few restaurants but never made it to them. I did however find a new place in the plaza rio to the right of commercial mexicana. The place is called " super antojitos". Apparently they have another one on calle 3 and ninos heroes. The place is tiny but some plates might compare to high end mexican restaurants at lower prices. I highly recommend you try this place at least once.
Another place I enjoyed was " El Museo" the new place across the street from the hotel nelson. They are owned by the same people. They offer more of an international menu but very few choices. I ate there last night...sat at an outdoor table right on revolucion. The food was excellent. Soup plate desert drink and tip came out to $17. Having a quiet moment on revolucion all to myself was very pleasant.
* I tried a few tacos varios stands and I was pleasantly surprised. My favorites were the one across the street from bar zacozanopan and the taco joint next to mac donalds where all the gay bars are (el arco). Thank you isg member "bobisee" for convincing me to try them. I did not get sick once.
I kept busy shopping for my ebay store and enjoying the atmosphere. The sex was lame but I had a great time just hanging out and being around fun people. Tomorrow I cross back to chula vista for a night then its off to my cell in NYC.
The border is fascinating me. I would really like to investigate the texas border towns. I might just do that on my next trip. I realize that I need a lot more available to me than just mongering. My trips to tijuana verify that.
Nice meeting joe arturo from the mexicali forum. Eventually I will get there. Too bad it wasnt this time around.
As always tom jackin was a lot of fun to hang out with. He had a girl sit on his face right in the booth at HK. You are my hero!
There were a lot of police out. Things felt rather safe.
END
PS. I forgot to mention I banged a SG with a beard on her lower back. Ive never seen that in my life. When I asked her why she didnt wax it I got the typical " I dont know " SG response.
Beware of Sgs putting crap on their conchas before DATY. It might just ruin your day.
